JavaScript Workshop » Beginning Web Development with ASP.NET @ LVS Online.com

I am teaching a third online class called Beginning Web Development with ASP.NET at LVS Online. This 6-week class will focus on the understanding the basics of how the .NET framework works with creating ASP.NET web applications using the C# programming langauage. Students will use the free web development tool Visual Web Developer 2008 Express to create their ASP.NET 3.5 web pages.

Topics Covered:

Week 1: Visual Web Developer 2008 Express Overview
Week 2: C# Basic Syntax, and OOP Primer
Week 3: ASP.NET Web Controls Overview
Week 4: Web Controls: RadioButton, CheckBox, and List Controls
Week 5: The ASP.NET Event Model, Automatic Postbacks and View State
Week 6: Controlling Visual Appearance through Propertes, CSS and Skins

As with my other online classes, I assume students don't have a background in programming or web development but it would be helpful if you had some web experience in either ASP, PHP, or even JavaScript. This class will explain what components are part of creating a ASP.NET page (.aspx) such as the programming language (C#), the development platform and the tools needed.

If you have taken either the Basic Web Applications with ASP or ASP E-Commerce Database Basics class, you will see all the huge differences between ASP and ASP.NET. These differences will show you how quickly and more efficiently you can create dynamic web sites.

This first introductory class will give you a great foundation on current web development practices with one of the most widely used technologies on the web.
